I Was Hit With a Huge Responsiblity

       I was hit with a huge responsibility when my volleyball coach asked me to play with the 17's American team. Currently I play for a 16's Regional volleyball team.That just means that the age group is 16 years old and younger, and regional is a lower level. Regional volleyball teams don't travel as far as the national teams, but tournaments still are not the closest by any means. most of the players have been playing way longer than I have and are a more experienced. The tournament took place in Columbus, on March 30th, 2014. It is quite a change going for one the strongest players on the 16's team to the weakest on the 17's. The maturity level is outrageous, when someone makes a bad play they shake it off and move on to the next one. I would say I played well, but not to my full potential, I played scared. I was not nearly as aggressive as I normally am, I was quite intimidated.
